Otokar has ramped up production for Romania’s €857 million COBRA II order, the largest single armored vehicle export in Turkish defense industry history. The project includes 1,059 vehicles across 10 variants.

Innovative Turkish defense systems will be showcased at BAMEX’25 in Mali’s capital Bamako, where representatives from more than 50 countries are expected to attend. The event aims to strengthen Turkey’s growing influence in Africa through new defense partnerships.

Turkey now exports not only defense platforms but also fully integrated operational concepts. Romania’s ability to operate its TB-2 drones from the newly acquired HİSAR-class offshore patrol vessel marks a major milestone.

Türkiye is using domestically developed industrial robots and digital twin technology in the mass production of the ALTAY tank, enabling high-precision welding and fully automated quality control.

Türkiye continues intensive testing and development of the indigenous BATU Power Group for the ALTAY Main Battle Tank, aiming to field BATU-equipped ALTAY units by the end of 2026.

Chief of General Staff Gen. Metin Gürak, accompanied by Air Force Commander Gen. Ziya Cemal Kadıoğlu, visited Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) to review ongoing aerospace and defense projects.

With the launch of the ALTAY Main Battle Tank mass-production facility, Türkiye has gained the capacity to rapidly meet both its own military needs and the demands of allied nations.

MKE has strengthened the ALTAY Main Battle Tank’s firepower with its domestically developed 120 mm L55 main gun and 57T machine gun, offering high accuracy, NATO compatibility, and superior battlefield performance.
